Uninsured Drivers

Colliding with uninsured drivers could add over £19 million a year to premiums says insuresupermarket.com

Research from insuresupermarket.com, a price comparison website, shows that the cost to motorists of making a claim against an uninsured driver could add over £19 million a year to the motoring nation's premiums. However, the research also shows that protecting your no claims bonus would only add between 6-17% to your premiums, thereby saving the nation a collective £7.4 million or more a year.

(PRWEB) August 15, 2004 - Richard Mason, director, insuresupermarket.com comments: "Having an accident is a traumatic experience for anyone, but worse still if you collide with an uninsured driver. While there is very little you can do to prevent this scenario, you can take measures to ensure you don't end up bearing the brunt - the easiest being to protect your no claims bonus. This can increase premiums by as little as 6%, whereas the cost of making a claim on your own policy can add as much as 23% - so it's a small price to pay for peace of mind. And of course, if you've made a claim, when it comes to renewal time, this can also limit the number of providers who will insure you so you might not get as competitive a deal."
